BadCub: typo correction

== Testing your changes locally ==

If you just want to test your changes locally (which you should), the [http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/dev-quickstart.html developer documentation] provides a good starting point.

== Upstream CI Testing ==

We have several classes of tests run within OpenStack CI:
* pep8 and python unit tests, run from within Ironic.
* Tempest API tests
** http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tempest/tree/tempest/api/baremetal/base.py
** Devstack starts the Ironic service and create nodes with the "fake" driver.
** Tempest exercises Ironic's API.
** Other services are not involved in this test, but may be started by devstack none the less.
* functional testing, using Nova with Ironic to provision emulated hardware, also run by Tempest.
** http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tempest/tree/tempest/scenario/test_baremetal_basic_ops.py
** Devstack configures Nova to use the nova.virt.ironic driver, and starts all Ironic services.
** Devstack creates virtual machine(s) and enrolls them in Ironic
** Tempest issues commands to Nova, and validates the resulting operations in Ironic.

== Testing Hardware Drivers ==

Drivers are a central component of Ironic's architecture, but many of them can not be tested without access to specialized hardware. For instance, even the IPMIToolPowerDriver module can not be tested without having access to hardware with a BMC that supports at least IPMI v1.5, which is not present in most laptops or workstations, and is not emulatable. As such, vendor-authors of hardware drivers are expected to contribute CI resources for the drivers they have authored. A list of the status of CI testing on each supported driver is maintained at [[Ironic/Drivers]] and/or [[ThirdPartySystems]].

What follows is a discussion of the CI testing efforts for Ironic in general, and for the third-party drivers specifically.

=== Third-party Driver Requirements ===

Third-party (aka "vendor") drivers are drivers which can not be tested upstream because they depend on specific capabilities of physical hardware. Such drivers may be allowed in Ironic if they meet the following requirements:

# each driver must adhere to the existing driver interfaces.
# drivers must function in a common environment with other drivers.
# each driver must have comprehensive unit test coverage and sufficient in-line documentation. The unit tests should mock any third-party libraries, so that they can be run without those libraries.
# vendors are responsible for fixing bugs in their driver in a timely fashion.
# vendors provide third-party, non-voting tests on supported hardware platform.
# vendors contribute (at least) one developer to upstream participation.

These guidelines are evolving and were originally proposed here: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-January/024823.html

=== Third Party CI ===

==== Description ====

The Ironic community have agreed that if a vendor wishes to submit a driver that said vendor should also be required to set up a third party CI system in their lab which runs [https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/Testing#What_tests_do_I_use.3F appropriate tests] against their actual hardware for Ironic patches, and provides feedback into Gerrit.

==== Third Party CI Requirements ====
* See the official [http://ci.openstack.org/third_party.html Third Party Testing] wiki.
* Test all drivers your company has integrated in Ironic.
* Post all test results. Even if you have failure results, those need to be posted.

For example, if your company has two drivers in Ironic, you would need to have a CI that tests against the two drivers and reports the results for each driver, for Ironic upstream patches.

==== Existing CI Solutions ====
* Puppet OpenStack CI
** Repoː https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-openstackci/tree/
** Instructionsː https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/puppet-openstackci/tree/contrib/README.md

==== Deadlines ====
* Mitaka-2ː Driver teams will have registered their intent to run CI by creating system accounts and identifying a point of contact for their CI team
* Mitaka Feature Freezeː All driver systems show the ability to receive events and post comments in the sandbox.
* N release feature freezeː Per patch testing and posting comments.

==== Questions ====
* Join [https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty Third Party Meeting]
* Ping krtaylor on #openstack-ironic

==== FAQ ====

===== What tests do I use? =====
You should have a Jenkins job like [https://github.com/openstack-infra/project-config/blob/master/jenkins/jobs/devstack-gate.yaml#L961 {pipeline}-tempest-dsvm-ironic-pxe_ipa{job-suffix}]

===== How do I run my CI to test all Ironic patches with my driver not yet merged? =====
If using devstack-gate use the pre-test-hook to cherry-pick your driver on top of the Ironic patch under review. If you've submitted your change to gerrit, you can use something like the following:

<pre>
function pre_test_hook {
echo "Cherry-picking latest driver from gerrit"
cd $BASE/new/ironic

# fetch latest patchset from gerrit
UPSTREAM_REMOTE=https://review.openstack.org/openstack/ironic

# set this to your gerrit change number
CHANGE_NUM=999999

PATCHSET_BASE=refs/changes/${CHANGE_NUM:(-2)}/$CHANGE_NUM
LATEST_PATCHSET=$(git ls-remote $UPSTREAM_REMOTE $PATCHSET_BASE/\* |
sort -t/ -k 5 -n | tail -n1 | cut -d$'\t' -f2)

if [ -z "$LATEST_PATCHSET" ]; then
echo "Failed to determine latest patchset of $PATCHSET_BASE from $UPSTREAM_REMOTE"
exit 1
fi

echo "Latest patchset ref is $LATEST_PATCHSET"

git fetch $UPSTREAM_REMOTE $LATEST_PATCHSET && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
}
</pre>

If you haven't submitted your change to gerrit yet, you'll have to fetch the change from your own repository (github or otherwise). For example:

<pre>
function pre_test_hook {
echo "Cherry-picking latest driver from private repository"
cd $BASE/new/ironic

VENDOR_REMOTE=https://www.github.com/vendor/ironic-driver
REFSPEC=bp/new-ironic-driver

git fetch $VENDOR_REMOTE $REFSPEC && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
}
</pre>

Otherwise you can make the changes prior to calling stack.sh or via a custom [http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/plugins.html devstack plugin].

BadCub: /* Agenda for next meeting */

= Weekly Ironic Project Team Meeting =

If you're interested in bare metal deployments within OpenStack, please join our weekly discussion about the [[Ironic|Ironic project]]! Meetings are held in the <code><nowiki>#openstack-meeting-3</nowiki></code> room on <code><nowiki>irc.freenode.net</nowiki></code>, and are chaired by Devananda or Chris Krelle (NobodyCam).

The Meeting time alternates between '''1700 UTC on Monday''' and '''0500 UTC on Tuesday''', to accommodate contributors from around the world.

NOTE: Meeting time is UTC based and may need to be adjusted based on local time zone changes, eg. as a result of daylight savings, which changes on different days in different countries. 

An ''unofficial'' Google Calendar for the meeting is here: [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&mode=WEEK&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=sodarock.com_fepuqkqe2333htb41n2n9qmue8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%235229A3 Google Calendar] This calendar may only show things for the Pacific Time Zone :(

Anyone is welcome to add topics to the agenda. However, topics should be posted '''at least two (2) days before the meeting''', and should include the IRC handle of the proposer and a link to further information. This gives everyone time to review any material ahead of time so we can use the meeting time for actual discussion.
* Example topic: (devananda) Let's talk about zebras. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra

== Drivers ==

Ironic supports pluggable back-end drivers for different types of hardware to enable features specific to unique hardware platforms and leverage divergent capabilities via a common API . This API is divided into three sections: core, common, and vendor. While authors of vendor drivers may break new ground in the designated "vendor_passthru" section of the API, they are strongly encouraged to converge on a common API across vendors. More details may be found under the [http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/architecture.html#drivers system architecture] description.

Hardware drivers must undergo CI testing so as to ensure their continued functionality. Some drivers will be tested upstream, while many will require third-party CI testing due to the unique nature of their hardware (and the unmanageable complexity of a single team required to maintain a test infrastructure encompassing hardware from many diverse vendors). Guidelines on that testing can be found on the [[Ironic/Testing]] wiki page.

Out-of-tree drivers are supported by Ironic and may be loaded via python entrypoints. Here is a list of known out-of-tree drivers:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Name !! Link
|-
| Cisco UCS || https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-56373
|}

The table below describes the CI test coverage of the current set of drivers. Note that drivers are composed of more than one interface (eg, power and deploy). Not all combinations of interfaces are necessarily tested together, but we are striving to get test coverage for each interface in at least one driver.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Interface Type !! Interface Name !! Test coverage provided by driver name
|-
| deploy || agent || agent_ssh; agent_ipmitool is used in production for Rackspace OnMetal
